Regulatory – State Utility Commissions

State utility commissions address electric, gas, telecommunications, and transportation matters that involve billions of dollars of investment and affect the rates of residential and business customers across each state.  

Commission proceedings include rate cases; generation and transmission planning and projects; renewable energy and energy efficiency implementation and incentives; civil penalties; and administrative rules governing the industry and these issues.

Our firm has a host of attorneys who have successfully litigated or settled scores of these matters on behalf of utilities, customers, generation providers, and various stakeholder groups. The firm’s state utility practice group includes former state regulatory commissioners and staff members, as well as attorneys who have successfully shepherded matters before state regulatory bodies and state and federal courts in multiple jurisdictions. Many of our attorneys also engage in legislative and policy advocacy and collaborate on strategic planning related to state-level issues, leveraging the benefit of our industry and administrative experience.
